Switched Marriage The Coddled Little Wife novel Chapter 291

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Acting Shamelessly

Lin Chuxia remained indifferent to the surrounding gossip and spoke calmly, "Mom, you’re wrong. My elder sister is fine. No one wants to drive her to death, let alone be responsible for two lives."

"You’re trying to drive her to death now, aren’t you?"

"What did I do?" Lin Chuxia couldn’t help but retort, "Wasn’t everything done by my sister and my brother-in-law from the beginning? They sold spoiled food to customers, refused to take responsibility after people fell ill, and then shifted the blame onto Xiyang Food Factory, misleading customers. Now they have been reported to the police station, and they have to compensate for medical expenses. Which of these things did I do?"

Su Wensong chimed in timely, "Madam, if we say we didn’t call the police, then we didn’t. However, if you continue to make a scene, the consequences might not be predictable. Li Guangyuan incited people to make trouble at the Xiyang Food Factory, which has already damaged the factory’s reputation. He must be held accountable for his actions. We didn’t call the police out of respect for Lin Chuxia. If you keep this up, as the Factory Director of Xiyang Food Factory, it is my responsibility to protect the factory’s interests."

Mother Lin had a moment of blankness at the clearly threatening words.

Mr. Lin tugged at Mother Lin’s clothes and asked in a low voice, "Did the Li Family say why the police took Guangyuan away?"

It appeared it really wasn’t Xiyang Food Factory that filed the report.

Li Dongmei hurriedly came to report, and Mother Lin’s first reaction was the village chief’s remark about affecting the factory’s reputation and customers, assuming it was the factory that reported to the police.

But what if it wasn’t them?

"I don’t care, your brother-in-law was taken away by the police. If you still consider me your mother, you should get him out. You are a member of the Lin Family after all. Your elder sister is pregnant; you have to take care of this."

Is this the reasoning of becoming unreasonable when arguments fail?

Lin Chuxia almost laughed at her mother’s assertive tone.

It was indeed her mother’s style.

"Mom, how would you like me to handle this?"

Seeing her daughter’s softening tone, Mother Lin’s eyes flickered, "Isn’t it just a case of food poisoning? Compensate them for medical expenses and see if they still make a fuss. Why don’t you get the money first?"

"Mom, how much money do you want me to take out?"

Mother Lin’s heart leapt with joy, her expression remained neutral, "Start with two thousand yuan, if that’s not enough, we’ll talk."

After speaking, she didn’t forget to grumble, "I asked you for money earlier and you hesitated. Wouldn’t we have avoided this trouble if you’d acted sooner? Your elder sister isn’t feeling well now, and if something happens to the child in her womb, let me tell you, I won’t let this go..."

When Mother Lin righteously demanded Lin Chuxia handle her elder sister’s affairs earlier, Su Wensong’s face had already turned ashen with anger.

Now, hearing her imply that if something goes wrong with her grandchild, she would hold Mr. Lin accountable, he couldn’t stand it anymore.

If she weren’t Mr. Lin’s mother, he truly couldn’t help but want to take action.

No wonder his daughter-in-law always said Mr. Lin had a tough childhood at home. With such a biased mother, how could he have had a good life?

He turned to look at Lin Chuxia, yet her expression remained unchanged.

"Mom thinks two thousand yuan is too little? To think that’s not enough and leave room for further discussion."

As she finished speaking, the way people looked at Mother Lin changed.

To think of demanding two thousand yuan just like that, let alone two hundred yuan is too much to ask for these days.
